1. Hunter X Hunter is really good and a bit better than the average fighting shonen.

2. Another good fighting shonen anime is Yu Yu Hakusho, which just happens to be by the same creator as Hunter X Hunter (t was made before). Flame of Recca is okay, but it gets very dull at parts (it's kind of a guilty pleasure I suppose).

3. Some of the better anime in Japan is not all that popular. Do we really need so many harem animes? How about another season of Berserk? Oh wait, it didn't get good enough ratings for that. And where's my new Narutaru?

4. The popular anime shows in Japan are not all that great. What's on top right now? That 300 billion episode detective show with that little kid... Detective Conan whatever? Oh, and of course, the good old pirate fighter One Piece. These shows more or less kinda suck.

5. I hate Rose of Versailles.

Wtf, One Piece sucks? Fuck off :fingers:

One Piece is one of the most underrated animes to Americans. People take one look at it and go wtf weird animation and a guy with strechy arm, so they delete it. Seeing as it's the number 1 anime in Japan, I'd say it doesn't suck.

Naruto as was stated is way overrated. It's a badass anime but not the godlike show that Americans make it out to be. They see nice animation and ninjas so they are like drooling from the getgo and can't wait til next weeks new episode.

Hunter X Hunter is a very good anime/manga as well so stop bickering about it.

Bold 1: So was Betterman at one point, for almost a year. Doesn't mean it was any good .

Bold 2: Amen.

Last sentence: Thats your opinion. So far, I haven't seen any credible explanations except for "its good", which makes it seem a lot like naruto explanations.....

I really like HunterxHunter. The characters are pretty cool. I really like the whole Genei Ryodan saga, Kuroro is really amazing as are all the spiders.
The whole 'Nen' thing is also cool, there is a lot of background knowledge that is given about how 'Nen' works and it's pretty in depth.

I watched HxH last fall and I aboslutely love it. I like it a lot more than some of the popular shounen action anime like Shaman King, Yu Yu Hakusho, and mayhaps even the coveted Naruto. I went through the entire 64 episode TV run in a matter of about a week. The OVA's in a day a piece and am eagerly awaiting the final OVA. I wouldn't say it's a must watch show for everyone, as shounen action isn't everyone's cup of tea, but for those into it, it rarely gets better or as good as Hunter x Hunter.

How DARE you take such a moderate view! Sugetsu has been trying to drum it into our heads for DAYS that this is "an instant classic," "a great series," ad infinitum. He has also unmasked the unbelievers and castigated the unworthy. And YOU simply REFUSE to take sides!? (9_9) Whatever is going to BECOME of this thread?!

Yeah that's the porpuse of advertaising it's natural that after being two years in this country I have gotten something out of capitalism Remenber that I did the same with RoV, Candy Candy, Berserk and Connan.

And I challenge anyone to argue against my initial review about this show. Are there any points that you don't agree with?

COME TO ME MY UNWORTHY CHILDREM

Really, eh? Do they....hunt?

uh huh...that's great...i think O.o.

Detective Conan? Isn't that like a 345 ep snorefest of sherlock holmes anime style? So, since most of us wouldn't even touch conan, be more specific.

When the hell does that happen? Tell me
Bold 2: It seems the producers can't think up names, so many K's XD.

Actually Hunter x Hunter is pretty intelligent for a shounen anime. More so than Naruto anyway. I haven't seen Conan, so I can't compare.

HxH starts kind of slow, in the beginning the violence is toned down more and there is more filler. I only kept going because I read the manga, and I thought the anime only became really good at the sky arena. (When they learn about Nen.)

Actually I think there are only 2 or 3 charactes who's names start with a 'K'. For a show with a fairly big cast that isn't that much.

Intelligent when the kid watches the parent get killed, then takes the child? What are we teaching kids today about intelligence...

The anime is pretty thoughtful, lets say another good comparison can be Hikura No GO. There are very interesting explanations and analysis to what is going on. A good example of this was the hunter exam, which was really exiting.

And the anime doesn't get good after the hunter exam... that's just ridiculous IT GETS BETTER... (As a matter of fact it gets better and better, the first OVA was awesome) but it doesn't make sense to say that the first 36 episodes were a waste of time, because it is there when one get to see who the characters are. Maybe he doesn't like those episodes because there is not as much action and tension as it is after the hunter exam, BUT still there is lots action and GOOD action.

hehehe... I just love to see ppl argue which anime is better.... to enforce our belief onto other ppl, and if they don't listen, we'll shoot them with giant death ray lazer gun from the 32nd century... isn't this what being an anime otaku all about?!

then again, we're talking about a series whose mangaka did "Yu Yu Hakusho," which i dare say no one can hate, is there any doubt HxH cannot be one of the great anime?! (I'm not saying the greatest, that would go too far)

One of the great anime? How does "great" have anything to do with this show? It's 100 years too early to say anything of the kind. It's one of the long anime, that's all I will grant. Y'all may like it a whole bunch, but what does that have to do with how great it is?

Amen.

So far i've seen little except the word GOOD or GREAT for an explaination.
Give me a clear answer!

what would be a clear answer to you? because if you need to know how the anime rate, it's better to watch it yourself and trust your own judgement, am I right?

GOOD or GREAT is what we (those who seen the series and like it) gave it, and it is purely our opinion; but if there's difference if opinion, i guess all we can say is that we all have different taste, right?
